December 2019—Southern California
Every time I visit Southern California I imagine myself a less relentless version of Jake Gettes, bypassing Chinatown for Chinese restaurants, the thoughts “mother” and “sister” replaced with “Escondido” and “embanadas”, who seeks answers not in city hall but in forgotten cul-de-sacs and suburban boulevards. I wish that I could have stayed longer.
